House Republicans Fail to Codify Trump's Transgender Military Ban as Two Members Defect

A House amendment by Rep. Lauren Boebert to enshrine Trump's transgender military ban into law failed after two Republican members crossed the aisle to vote against it. However, two separate anti-transgender amendments sponsored by Rep. Nancy Mace passed late Tuesday. Trump's executive-order ban remains in effect, but the failed Boebert vote leaves it without statutory backing.
